ok time to see if RICKI AND THE FLASH was another victim of super broad marketing or just really, really bad.
josh lewis @thejoshl Jul 27
@jasonwhyte oh come on don't even pretend that trailer isn't garbage.
josh lewis @thejoshl Jul 27
@jasonwhyte of course, but that doesn't change the maudlin, cliche nonsense i saw in the trailer. hoping it just misrepresented the film.
josh lewis @thejoshl Jul 27
they're taking cellphones so brb.

josh lewis @thejoshl Jul 27
goddamn RICKI AND THE FLASH is... really good. little obvious + hammy but jonathan demme wields it well, and meryl streep kills it as usual.
josh lewis @thejoshl Jul 27
@JoshRosenfield weirdest part: the marketing doesn't really misrepresent it all that much, it's just executed far better than it suggests.
The Lord of The Rings movies are the best thing to ever happen to fantasy.
Western RPGs (Bioware and Bethesda) and their overuse of stealing LOTR lore (and fusing it with bad writing) has turned me very sour towards that franchise. The Hobbit movies finished the job.

That's how the GP got bored of Gags
It was a good brand but after many copycats ( Nicki, Ke$ha) the people grew tired of it and dropped Gags after her The Hobbit moment ( ARTPOOP)
Sigh. A shame no western RPG, aside from Planescape: Torment, measures up to the same quality of writing and attention to detail that Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy XII, and Chrono Trigger have.
Great story with decent characterization. I dig the lore. Some of the writing between the characters is abysmal though. Otherwise I would have also included VII.
